Supreme Court Rejects Immunity Claims By Samuel Tweah, Other Former Officials
By Amos HarrisThe Supreme Court of Liberia has rejected immunity claims filed by former Minister of Finance and Development Planning Samuel D. Tweah and several senior officials of the former Weah administration. Consequently, the Supreme Court denied the petition for prohibition, quashed the alternative writ, and ordered the case remanded to the trial court for further proceedings. Former Supreme Court Justice M. Wilkins Wright, also appearing for the defense, argued that oversight of such spending rests with the General Auditing Commission rather than the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission. This Supreme Court ruling follows an earlier decision by Criminal Court ‘C’ Judge Roosevelt Z. Willie, who denied a defense motion to dismiss on similar grounds. With the Supreme Court now lifting the temporary stay on proceedings, the trial court is cleared to resume jurisdiction and move forward with the case.
